Pastels in Polymer Clay

Spring is the time for pretty pastel colors- soft daffodil yellow, pale pink flowers peeking through the leaves in the flower bed, soft lilac purples bursting into bloom.  And the Polymer Clay Smooshers Guild on ArtFire does pastel so well!

This Yellow Heart Pendant from DreamWeaversDesigns makes me think of all the pretty yellow daffodils nodding their heads in the spring breeze.  These are some of the first flowers to bloom in my yard and I welcome their sunny color!

 

And this beautiful tile from Harrison Hollow Designs has all sorts of pretty pastels.  And it would make a lovely gift for Mother's Day too ;-)

I love all the different colors and textures on this piece- the more I look at it, the more I like it!

And I am absolutely in love with this lavender flower pendant from Life Art Designs!

Pastel perfection!  I love flowers, and any shade of purple, so you can see why this beauty caught my eye! ;-)

And here's a lovely polymer clay cane in shades of peach, purple, and teal.  My Polymer Clay Canes has all sorts of intricate and pretty canes available.

I love the way the colors soften and blur slightly.  I don't make many canes myself, and these pretty designs always impress me. 

Although it's been a gray and wet Spring so far, all these pretty colors give me a bit of hope for better weather and brighter blooms in the near future!  I hope you enjoyed my pastel picks from a few of the very talented members of the Polymer Clay Smooshers guild!

Vote for Lycah the Lavender Fairy!

The ArtFire Polymer Clay Smooshers Guild is having their "Pastel Challenge".  You can place your vote at polymerclaysmooshers.blogspot.com.  There are many great pastel pieces entered, including my own sculpture, Lycah the Lavender Fairy.

I only joined the ArtFire Smooshers Guild recently, and this is my first Challenge.  I'm really enjoying the Guild so far.  ColtPixie, the guild master, works very hard to keep it interesting, fun, and informative.  She has monthly Challenges, as well as weekly theme posts on the blog.  It's a great place to get together with fellow "clayers" and view some really awesome (not to mention, varied) artwork.  The sky's the linit with this particular medium, and these artists are going above and beyond that limit!  And if you have any questions, there's an "Ask a Smoosher" section on the blog.  I believe we have almost 50 members now.

So stop by the Pastel Challenge and vote for Lycah!

Thanks for voting!
